Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley have officially adopted a baby girl from Korea.

The Grey's Anatomy actress had revealed that the couple were planning to adopt during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week.

A statement posted on her Jason Heigl Foundation website has confirmed that the pair are now parents to 10-month-old daughter Nancy Leigh, who will go by the nickname Naleigh.

The new arrival has been named after Heigl's mother Nancy and her sister Margaret and the post was accompanied by photographs of the family posing together.

Heigl, whose sister was adopted from Korea, previously explained that Naleigh was a special needs baby which had made the adoption process quicker than normal.

A spokesperson added: "Katherine, Josh and Naleigh are together and doing well."
